Ignore this one please ... I figured a way out!
In Makefile
-----------
pre-fetch:
.if !defined(BATCH) && !defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING) &&
!defined(WITH_PASSFILE)
${SH} pkg-install
.endif
.if !defined(BATCH) && !defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING) &&
defined(WITH_PASSFILE)
${SH} pkg-install WITH_PASSFILE
.endif
And now I can test if $1 is WITH_MAKEFILE in pkg-install and show the
dialog accordingly!
That was fun! :)
Regards,
Rakhesh
